    I got the fuel mileage up to 6.7 and the oor was at 5% on the Sunday beep. Hub miles was just over 12k and tariff miles was 11k and some change.

    Sundays beeb 7.07 fuel mileage should go up next week. Had some good fuelings this week.
    First time in two weeks that I wasn't trucking in -15° weather.

    All of the above and once the outside air temp drops below 41 degrees the engine burns the fuel at a lower temperature for better emissions but in doing so is detrimental to fuel mileage. That's straight from the big man at Maverick HQ. I asked him a couple of years about it when I saw a 20 degree temperature drop in 10 miles and watched the information on the MPG dashboard readout drop INSTANTLY
     
    jxu417, vhughes and sewerman Thank this.

    Last Sundays beep 7.54something but haven't been ice road trucking like sewerman this quarter. Coupla good fuelings this week too so should go up. Pre-fabricated building, wind catching, untarped, load that got me home this week didn't help things with an eastern x wind on the way home but think the dash read 7.3 something on the tank when I parked

    I was getting suspicious of something like that. Makes sense...
